Background:

The fidelity of protein synthesis requires efficient discrimination of amino acid substrates by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. Accurate discrimination of the structurally similar amino acids valine and isoleucine by isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase (IleRS) results, in part, from a hydrolytic editing reaction, which prevents misactivated valine from being stably joined to tRNAIle. IleRS joins Ile to tRNA(Ile) at its synthetic active site and hydrolyzes incorrectly acylated amino acids at its editing active site. A member of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family, human IleRS has been identified as a target of antibodies in the autoimmune disease polymyositis.

Specificity:

IleRS (Y97) polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of IleRS protein.
